Doesn't this explain the lack of progress being made in religious and/or political discussions / arguments? I heard Dr Phil talking about it on The View today? Thoughts?

I believe that's true, but not the only part. Indoctrination of the young, starting as an infant all the way through 18 years is a huge hurdle to overcome also. Last reason might be that you have to have enough intellectual horsepower to even attempt something like a total refutation of all earlier held beliefs.

That’s a big part of it. But probably not the whole explanation. Another part is the story of how they came to those “preexisting” beliefs to start with.
